More About Coach Andre
As a coach, my journey is a unique blend of past and present. While I'm dedicated to guiding aspiring athletes, my own playing career is far from over. I continue to compete in the lower leagues in San Diego, California, where I apply the very principles I instill in my players – dedication, hard work, and passion for the game.
My transition into coaching represents a natural progression from years of top-level fitness and rigorous training sessions. I've been fortunate to learn from the best and experience firsthand the demands of the sport. Now, as a coach, I'm committed to passing on this knowledge and instilling in my players the same level of dedication and determination that has defined my journey.
This dual role allows me to bridge the gap between playing and coaching, providing a unique perspective that benefits both myself and those I mentor. It's a journey that combines the thrill of competition with the joy of nurturing the next generation of athletes.
With a soccer journey that began at the early age of 5, my love for the beautiful game has been a lifelong passion. Hailing from Brazil, where football is more than a sport, it's a way of life, I acquired most of my skills on the futsal courts, navigating the fast-paced and technically demanding world of Brazilian youth futsal leagues during their teenage years.
As I transitioned into adulthood, I set my sights on the United States, embarking on a 4-year semi-professional soccer career. I embraced the challenge of competing in leagues like the UPSL (United Premier Soccer League) and NPSL (National Premier Soccer League), showcasing skills, dedication, and tenacity on the pitch.

Arantxa (CoachUp client)
As a former collegiate athlete i enjoyed trainings with Andre! His trainings are simple and effective, good on the ball drills with good conditioning. Reliable trainer with engaging drills that will take you to the next level!
Melinda (CoachUp client)
He is a great coach. My 16yo daughter needed to get her skills and her fitness level back up to par after an injury so she could get back to her competitive club team. He really challenged her and pushed her to the level she needed. She was able to get back to the level she was at pre-injury fairly quickly with these sessions.
Mike & Nora Stencer (Testimonial)
Words cannot express our gratitude for Coach Andre's incredible dedication and passion for coaching our children in soccer. From the moment our kids stepped onto the field, Coach Andre infused them with not just the skills to play the game, but with invaluable life lessons as well. Under Coach Andre's guidance, our children have blossomed into confident, disciplined athletes. His ability to blend fun and learning in every practice session is truly remarkable. Our kids eagerly look forward to each training session, thanks to Coach Andre's infectious enthusiasm and positive reinforcement. Moreover, Coach Andre goes above and beyond to foster a sense of teamwork and sportsmanship among the kids. He emphasizes the importance of respect, cooperation, and resilience, instilling in them qualities that extend far beyond the soccer field. As parents, we've witnessed firsthand the positive impact Coach Andre has had on our children's development. Not only have they improved their soccer skills significantly, but they've also grown as individuals, displaying greater confidence, leadership, and a strong work ethic. We wholeheartedly recommend Coach Andre to any parent seeking a dedicated mentor who not only teaches soccer but also nurtures character and values in young athletes. He is a true asset to our community, and we are immensely grateful for the lasting impression he has made on our children's lives.
